Pant K, Gradilone SA. NAMPT Overexpression Drives Cell Growth in Polycystic Liver Disease through Mitochondrial Metabolism Regulation. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2024:S0002-9440(24)00197-4. [PMID: 38849029 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2024.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
A group of genetic diseases known as polycystic liver disease (PLD) are distinguished by the gradual development of fluid-filled hepatic cysts formed from cholangiocytes and commonly related to primary cilia defects. The NAD salvage pathway, which sustains cellular bioenergetics and supplies a required substrate for tasks important to rapidly multiplying cells, has a rate-limiting phase that is mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT). In this study, the efficacy and mechanisms of action of FK866, a novel, high-potency NAMPT inhibitor with a good toxicity profile, were assessed. NAMPT-siRNA and FK866 reduced NAD levels and inhibited the proliferation of PLD cells in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, this pharmacologic and siRNA-mediated suppression of NAMPT was less effective in normal cells at the same concentrations. The addition of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a byproduct of NAMPT that restores NAD concentration, rescued the cellular viability of PLD cells and verified the on-target action of FK866. In FK866-treated PLD cells, mitochondrial respiration and ATP production were impaired and reactive oxygen species production was induced. Importantly, FK866 treatment was associated with improved effects of octreotide, a drug used for PLD treatment. As a result, the use of NAMPT inhibitors, including FK866 therapy, offers the possibility of a further targeted strategy for the therapeutic treatment of PLD.

Oncol Res 2023; 32:283-296. [PMID: 38186577 PMCID: PMC10765132 DOI: 10.32604/or.2023.044618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) plays an essential role in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial homeostasis, inflammation, and senescence. However, the role of NAD+-regulated genes, including coding and long non-coding genes in cancer development is poorly understood. We constructed a prediction model based on the expression level of NAD+ metabolism-related genes (NMRGs). Furthermore, we validated the expression of NMRGs in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cell lines; additionally, β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor of NAD+, was used to treat the GC cell lines to analyze its effects on the expression level of NMRGs lncRNAs and cellular proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). A total of 13 NMRGs-related lncRNAs were selected to construct prognostic risk signatures, and patients with high-risk scores had a poor prognosis. Some immune checkpoint genes were upregulated in the high-risk group. In addition, cell cycle, epigenetics, and senescence were significantly downregulated in the high-risk group. Notably, we found that the levels of immune cell infiltration, including CD8 T cells, CD4 naïve T cells, CD4 memory-activated T cells, B memory cells, and naïve B cells, were significantly associated with risk scores. Furthermore, the treatment of NMN showed increased proliferation of AGS and MKN45 cells. In addition, the expression of SASP factors (IL6, IL8, IL10, TGF-β, and TNF-α) was significantly decreased after NMN treatment. We conclude that the lncRNAs associated with NAD+ metabolism can potentially be used as biomarkers for predicting clinical outcomes of GC patients.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is indispensable for various oxidation-reduction reactions in mammalian cells, particularly during energy production. Malignant cells increase the expression levels of NAD+ biosynthesis enzymes for rapid proliferation and biomass production. Furthermore, mounting proof has indicated that NAD-degrading enzymes (NADases) play a role in creating the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Interestingly, both inhibiting NAD+ synthesis and targeting NADase have positive implications for cancer treatment. Here we summarize the detrimental outcomes of increased NAD+ production, the functions of NAD+ metabolic enzymes in creating an immunosuppressive TME, and discuss the progress and clinical translational potential of inhibitors for NAD+ synthesis and therapies targeting NADase.

Liang SP, Wang XZ, Piao MH, Chen X, Wang ZC, Li C, Wang YB, Lu S, He C, Wang YL, Chi GF, Ge PF. Activated SIRT1 contributes to DPT-induced glioma cell parthanatos by upregulation of NOX2 and NAT10. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2023; 44:2125-2138. [PMID: 37277492 PMCID: PMC10545831 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-023-01109-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Parthanatos is a type of programmed cell death dependent on hyper-activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1). SIRT1 is a highly conserved nuclear deacetylase and often acts as an inhibitor of parthanatos by deacetylation of PARP1. Our previous study showed that deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), a natural compound isolated from the traditional herb Anthriscus sylvestris, triggered glioma cell death via parthanatos. In this study, we investigated the role of SIRT1 in DPT-induced human glioma cell parthanatos. We showed that DPT (450 nmol/L) activated both PARP1 and SIRT1, and induced parthanatos in U87 and U251 glioma cells. Activation of SIRT1 with SRT2183 (10 μmol/L) enhanced, while inhibition of SIRT1 with EX527 (200 μmol/L) or knockdown of SIRT1 attenuated DPT-induced PARP1 activation and glioma cell death. We demonstrated that DPT (450 nmol/L) significantly decreased intracellular NAD+ levels in U87 and U251 cells. Further decrease of NAD+ levels with FK866 (100 μmol/L) aggravated, but supplement of NAD+ (0.5, 2 mmol/L) attenuated DPT-induced PARP1 activation. We found that NAD+ depletion enhanced PARP1 activation via two ways: one was aggravating ROS-dependent DNA DSBs by upregulation of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2); the other was reinforcing PARP1 acetylation via increase of N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) expression. We found that SIRT1 activity was improved when being phosphorylated by JNK at Ser27, the activated SIRT1 in reverse aggravated JNK activation via upregulating ROS-related ASK1 signaling, thus forming a positive feedback between JNK and SIRT1. Taken together, SIRT1 activated by JNK contributed to DPT-induced human glioma cell parthanatos via initiation of NAD+ depletion-dependent upregulation of NOX2 and NAT10.
